Lynne Huffer

Lynne Huffer is Samuel Candler Dobbs Professor of Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at Emory University. She is the author of four books, including most recently Mad for Foucault: Rethinking the Foundations of Queer Theory (2010). She has published widely on Foucault, feminist philosophy and theory, queer theory, post-structuralism, and French literature. Her newest book, Are the Lips a Grave? Queer Feminist Reflections on the Ethics of Sex (forthcoming 2013), is a genealogy of the ethics of sex in contemporary queer and feminist contexts.
